Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Banana (mashed)
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized dish with non-stick spray or a light layer of oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and mashed banana until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is fully incorporated.
If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the oatmeal mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set.
Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into squares or scooping into bowls.
Serve warm as-is or topped with additional peanut butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit, if desired. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
